vampirical.

Vampires. Folklore, novellage, film, photography, art, a dash of pop culture, with an emphasis on bringing the fascinating and the obscure out into the light. (Er, carefully curtained, of course, to prevent the bursting into flame.)

Your host: Jo, folklore and ballad enthusiast, vampire conspiracy theorist, general snarker and lover of all things interesting. May or may not be writing things with vampires in.

Submissions accepted, with discretion. Unless they are Twilight.
